Announcing auditions for Bunbury Players’ production of
THE EFFECT OF GAMMA RAYS ON MAN-IN-THE-MOON MARIGOLDS
by Paul Zindel
Directed by Maureen Baillargeon Aumand
All roles are open to performers of all ages, ethnicities, and gender identities.
Beatrice Hunsdorfer — An abandoned and then widowed mother of two, an angry embittered woman who lives in a fantasy world, marked by illusions of what has been, and what could be which prevent her from dealing with her life practically. She verbally weaves a dark mental and emotional vision of the world as deadended and dangerous for her daughters. Her life and its disappointments have made her cynical and mean-spirited.
Ruth Hunsdorfer — A teenager interested only in boys and gossip and being liked ;she suffers from epileptic seizures and is influenced by Beatrice’s cynicism and concern for what others think. She is brash and angry.
Tilly Hunsdorfer — A studious, thoughtful, determined, gentle preteen, who is profoundly influenced by what she’s learning in her science class from her teacher Mr. Goodman.
Janice Vickery — A rival to Tilly in the science fair competition; she is calculating, self serving and insensitive. Her project presentation showcases that and provides a note of humor.
Nanny — An aged,enfeebled woman who lives in a spare room. Her presence is a source of income for Beatrice who verbally mocks her. She is a strong presence when on stage but never speaks.
